TV Aspect

• Default setting: 16:9 Wide If you have a widescreen TV, select the 16:9 Wide

setting—widescreen DVD software is then shown using the full screen area. When playing software recorded in conventional (4:3) format, the settings on your TV will determine how the material is presented—see the manual that came with your TV for details on what options are available. If your TV does not have settings for how 4:3 sources look, choose the 16:9 Squeeze setting. The picture you see on your TV will be determined by the disc. See page 34 for more information.

If you have a conventional TV, choose either 4:3 L- Box or 4:3 Pan Scan. In Letter Box mode, widescreen software is shown with black bars at the top and bottom of the screen. Pan & Scan chops the sides off widescreen material to make it fit the 4:3 screen (so even though the picture looks larger on the screen, you’re actually seeing less of the movie).

Components Out

• Default setting: Interlace Compared to a standard interlaced TV picture, a

progressive scan TV is capable of stable, flickerfree images.

Set only if you connected the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT to a progressive scan-compatible TV or monitor.

• Progressive – Use this setting with TVs and

monitors that have progressive scan component video inputs. Check the TV’s instruction manual if you are not sure about this.

• Interlace – Use this setting with regular TVs

that are not compatible with progressive scan. Check the TV’s instruction manual if you are not sure about this.

Tip

If this player is set to output progressive-scan video, it’s possible that the picture will appear stretched when playing discs recorded in 4:3 format. This happens when the TV’s aspect ratio is set to ‘Full’. To see the picture in its correct aspect ratio, change the TV setting to ‘Normal’.

If your TV doesn’t have settings to change the aspect ratio of the picture, set this player to 16:9

Squeeze.

SCART Video Out (Europe Model only)

• Default setting: Video

These settings are only applicable if you’re using the

A/V EURO CONNECTOR SCART-type connector.

Important

If you make a setting here that is incompatible with your TV, the TV may not display any picture at all. If this happens either switch everything off and reconnect to the TV using either the supplied composite video cable, or an S-Video cable (see pages 10-11 for more on this), or reset the unit (see page 47 for how to do this).

• Video – Compatible with all TVs, but lowest

quality of the three AV settings.

• S-Video – Almost the same quality as RGB, but

can give better results if you are using a long SCART cable.

• RGB – If your TV is compatible, this setting

gives the best picture quality.

Note

• If you connect a TV that is not compatible with a progressive scan signal and choose one of the progressive scan settings, you will not be able to see any picture at all. With your TV connected using either the composite or S-Video terminals, choose the Interlace setting in the Component Video menu.

• Compatibility of this unit with progressive-scan TVs: Note that not all high definition television sets are fully compatible with this unit and may cause artifacts to be displayed in the picture. In case of progressive scan picture problems, try switching the connection to the “STANDARD DEFINITION” output.

•TruSurround

If you connected your DVD player using only the stereo analog outputs, you can simulate surround sound.

Note

•Works with DVD-Video and VCD only.

• The digital audio output is processed by TruSurround when playing 2 channel Dolby Digital DVDs or Video CDs with TruSurround. It is recommended that Audio Out is set to 2 channel (stereo or Lt/Rt) when connecting the player to your amp using a coaxial or optical connection.

•How good the surround effect is varies with the disc.

•When TruSurround is selected, the audio can be output only for the L/R channels on the Front.

Note

•Even if you set Audio Out to 5.1 Channel,

you’ll only get sound from all speakers when playing a multi-channel DVD-Audio disc, multichannel Super Audio CD disc, Dolby Digital or DTS encoded DVD disc.

•Set Digital Out (page 39) to Bitstream for

• If you set to 2 Channel (Stereo), 2 Channel (Lt/Rt), TruSurround, Dolby Digital and DTS are mixed down to two channels so you still hear all the audio recorded on the disc.

• Some DVD-Audio discs don’t allow downmixing of audio. These discs always output multi-channel audio regardless of the setting made here.

• Change can be made only in the stop mode. When RESUME is indicated on the display, put the player in the STOP mode by pressing 7

Audio DRC

• Default setting: Off When watching Dolby Digital DVDs at low volume,

it’s easy to lose the low level sounds completely, including some of the dialog. Switching on Audio DRC (Dynamic Range Compression) can help things by bringing up the low level sounds, while keeping the lid on high level peaks.

The Off setting leaves the original dynamics intact; On ‘squashes’ the dynamics; but exactly how much difference you can hear between the settings will depend on the material you’re watching.

Remember

• Audio DRC is only effective with Dolby Digital audio sources.

• The effect of Audio DRC depends on your speakers and AV amplifier settings.

Additional Information7

Handling discs

When holding discs of any type, take care not to leave fingerprints, dirt or scratches on the disc surface. Hold the disc by its edge or by the center hole and edge.

Damaged or dirty discs can affect playback performance. Take care also not to scratch the label side of the disc. Although not as fragile as the recorded side, scratches can still result in a disc becoming unusable.

Should a disc become marked with fingerprints, dust, etc., clean using a soft, dry cloth, wiping the disc lightly from the center to the outside edge as shown in the diagram below.

Wipe lightly from the center of the disc using straight strokes.

Don’t wipe the disc surface using circular strokes.

Discs to avoid

Discs spin at high speed inside the player. If you can see that a disc is cracked, chipped, warped, or otherwise damaged, don't risk using it in your player—you could end up damaging the unit.

This unit is designed for use with conventional, fully circular discs only. Use of shaped discs is not recommended for this product.

Cleaning the pickup lens

The DVD player’s lens should not become dirty in normal use, but if for some reason it should malfunction due to dust or dirt, consult your nearest MARANTZ-authorized service center. Although lens cleaners for CD players are commercially available, we do not recommend using them since some may damage the lens.

If necessary, use a cloth soaked in alcohol, or a commercially available CD/DVD cleaning kit to clean a disc more thoroughly. Never use benzine, thinner or other cleaning agents, including products designed for cleaning vinyl records.

Storing discs

Although CDs and DVD discs are more durable than vinyl records, you should still take care to handle and store discs correctly. When you're not using a disc, return it to its case and store upright. Avoid leaving discs in excessively cold, humid, or hot environments (including under direct sunlight).

Don't glue paper or put stickers onto the disc, or use a pencil, ball-point pen or other sharp-tipped writing instrument. These could all damage the disc.

Problems with condensation

Condensation may form inside the player if it is brought into a warm room from outside, or if the temperature of the room rises quickly. Although the condensation won’t damage the player, it may temporarily impair its performance. For this reason you should leave it to adjust to the warmer temperature for about an hour before switching on and using.

For more detailed care information see the instructions that come with discs.

Do not load more than one disc into the player.

7Additional Information

Hints on installation

We want you to enjoy using this unit for years to come, so please bear in mind the following points when choosing a suitable location for it:

Do...

✓ Use in a well-ventilated room. ✓ Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as a

table, shelf or stereo rack.

Don’t...

✗ Use in a place exposed to high temperatures or

humidity, including near radiators and other heat-generating appliances.

✗ Place on a window sill or other place where the

player will be exposed to direct sunlight.

✗ Use in an excessively dusty or damp environ-

ment.

✗ Place directly on top of an amplifier, or other

component in your stereo system that becomes hot in use.

✗ Use near a television or monitor as you may

experience interference—especially if the television uses an indoor antenna.

✗ Use in a kitchen or other room where the player

may be exposed to smoke or steam.

✗ Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover with

cloth—this may prevent proper cooling of the unit.

✗ Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not

large enough to support all four of the unit’s feet.

Moving the player

If you need to move the player, first press POWER ON/STANDBY button on the front panel to turn

the player off, then unplug the power cord. Never lift or move the unit during playback—discs rotate at a high speed and may be damaged.

Power cord caution

Handle the power cord by the plug part. Do not pull out the plug by tugging the cord, and never touch the power cord when your hands are wet, as this could cause a short circuit or electric shock. Do not place the unit, a piece of furniture, or other object on the power cord or pinch the cord in any other way. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The power cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause a fire or give you an electric shock. Check the power cord once in a while. If you find it damaged, ask your nearest MARANTZ authorized service center or your dealer for a replacement.

Glossary

Analog audio

An electrical signal that directly represents sound. Compare this to digital audio which can be an electrical signal, but is an indirect representation of sound. See also Digital audio.

Aspect ratio

The width of a TV screen relative to its height. Conventional TVs are 4:3 (in other words, the screen is almost square); widescreen models are 16:9 (the screen is almost twice as wide as it is high).

Bonus Group (DVD-Audio only)

An ‘extra’ group on some DVD-Audio discs that requires a key number to access. See also Group.

Browsable pictures (DVD-Audio only)

A feature of some DVD-Audio discs in which the user can browse still pictures recorded on the disc as the audio is played. See also Slideshow.

Chapter (DVD-Video, DVD-RW)

Just as a book is split up into several chapters, a title on a DVD disc is usually divided into chapters. See also Title.

Digital audio

An indirect representation of sound by numbers. During recording, the sound is measured at discrete intervals (44,100 times a second for CD audio) by an analog-to-digital converter, generating a stream of numbers. On playback, a digital-toanalog converter generates an analog signal based on these numbers. See also Sampling frequency and Analog audio.

Dolby Digital

Using a maximum of 5.1 channels of audio, this high quality surround system is used in many of the finer movie theaters around the world.

DTS

DTS stands for Digital Theater System. DTS is a surround system different from Dolby Digital that has become a popular surround sound format for movies.

Dynamic range

The difference between the quietest and loudest sounds possible in an audio signal (without distorting or getting lost in noise). Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks are capable of a very wide dynamic range, delivering dramatic cinema-like effects.

File extension

A tag added to the end of a filename to indicate the type of file. For example, “.mp3” indicates an MP3 file.

Group (DVD-Audio only)

A collection of tracks on a DVD-Audio disc. Equivalent to a DVD-Video title. See also Title and Tr ack.

HDCP

HDCP is the acronym for High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection. It is an encrypting method for DVI-use images and its purpose is the protection of image content against illegal copying. Receiving the encrypted signals requires a display with HDCP-compatible DVI input.

HDMI

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is an interface that expands DVI for next-generation digital audiovisual devices.

HDMI terminals can simultaneously transmit uncompressed digital images and the digital audio signals of Dolby Digital DTS, Linear PCM, etc.

Interlaced video

A method of displaying a picture in which oddnumbered lines are updated in one pass, then even-numbered lines updated in the next. See also Progressive scan video.

MP3

MP3 (MPEG1 audio layer 3) is a compressed audio file format. Files are recognized by their file extension “.mp3” or “.MP3”.

MPEG audio

An audio format used on Video CDs and some DVD discs. This unit can convert MPEG audio to PCM format for wider compatibility with digital recorders and AV amplifiers. See also PCM.

7Additional Information

MPEG video

The video format used for Video CDs and DVDs. Video CDs uses the older MPEG-1 standard, while DVD uses the newer and much better quality MPEG-2 standard.

Multi-session

A CD-R/RW that contains two or more ‘sessions’. Each session is a complete recording process, so each session is read as a complete disc. This player can only read the first session on a disc.

Optical digital output

A jack that outputs digital audio in the form of light pulses. Connect components with optical digital jacks using a special optical cord, available from good audio dealers.

Packed PCM (DVD-Audio only)

A lossless compression system that enables more PCM audio to be stored on a DVD-Audio disc than would otherwise be possible.

PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)

The most common system of encoding digital audio, found on CDs and DAT. Excellent quality, but requires a lot of data compared to formats such as Dolby Digital and MPEG audio. For compatibility with digital audio recorders (CD, MD and DAT) and AV amplifiers with digital inputs, this unit can convert Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG audio to PCM. See also Digital audio.

PBC (PlayBack Control) (Video CD only)

A system of navigating a Video CD through onscreen menus recorded onto the disc. Especially good for discs that you would normally not watch from beginning to end all at once—karaoke discs, for example.

Progressive scan video

Also called non-interlaced video, this method of displaying a picture updates all the lines in one pass, resulting in a more stable, flicker-free image than interlaced video (for a given scanning rate). See also Interlaced video.

Regions (DVD-Video only)

These associate discs and players with particular areas of the world. This unit will only play discs that have compatible region codes. You can find the region code of your unit by looking on the rear panel. Some discs are compatible with more than one region (or all regions).

Sampling frequency

The rate at which sound is measured to be turned into digital audio data. The higher the rate, the better the sound quality, but the more digital information is generated. Standard CD audio has a sampling frequency of 44.1kHz, which means 44,100 samples (measurements) per second. See also Digital audio.

Slideshow (DVD, Video CD)

A feature of some DVD discs in which still pictures recorded on the disc cycle automatically as the audio is played. See also Browsable pictures.

Super Audio CDs

This is a high audio quality pure audio standard with more data recorded based on CD standards. There are three different types of super audio CD discs, single layer, dual layer and hybrid. Hybrid discs have the structure of both CD and super audio CD discs.

Title (DVD-Video only)

A collection of chapters on a DVD-Video disc. Equivalent to a DVD-Audio group. See also Chapter and Group.

Tr ack

Audio CDs, Video CDs and DVD-Audio discs all use tracks to divide up the content of a disc. The DVD-Video equivalent is called a chapter. See also Chapter and Group.
